Today, DU is a bit tedious to read.

The Trump special announcement, which was nothing more than a launch for his own playing card set, was good for maybe fifteen minutes. But he's so over the fame expiration date that this latest lame move is slogging up the day's reading.

Frankly, there are only two things that Trump can do to regain my attention. He can either start trashing members of the Republican party, revealing their deepest embarrassing secrets or we can continue to read about his freak outs as the toll of the investigations begin to affect him.

But, outside of those two developments, no interest at all in these side shows.

6. It seems to have reinforced his true intent only to grift, no "cause" to frontrun.

As magats slowly awaken to the fraud of advancing THEIR interests even one iota.

Interestingly, a big reason why people leave cults is the eventual realization of being betrayed.

Might be a big (self) bombshell.

Ya never know right away.

The western world must be wondering what the hell is taking so long. How much will we put up with? Are we really a country of laws n accountability? Actually, I’m asking, too

I share the temptation, but when we don't conquer it we're doomed to contribute to this particular genre of posts.

1. Photos of him being in-processed into prison. Not the strip down or shower, though. Fully clothed and thoroughly defeated.

2. His too long tie gets caught up in the rotor blades of a helicopter and pulls him in. Or his 9 iron acts as a lightning rod. Or Melania trips him going down a long and winding staircase and then gets hoisted on her own petard when his too long tie wraps around her legs and pulls her down with him. There's more, but you get the point.
